Dry Eye Treatment in Monterey Park

Natural tears lubricate the eye, providing a clear and smooth surface that protects the eyes. When there are insufficient tears present, your eyes are susceptible to scratches and infections. In addition, foreign matter such as dust cannot get washed away without tear flow, causing itchy and irritated eyes. In many cases, a lack of tears results in blurry and cloudy vision.

In addition, environmental factors, like wind and air conditioning, can aggravate dry eye symptoms. Infrequent blinking as a result of spending a significant amount of time (two hours or more) in front of a computer or other digital device, can also worsen dry eye.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Symptoms can come and go, depending on the cause. A person with dry eye may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Dryness

Burning sensation

Itchiness

Eye fatigue and soreness

Red eyes

Light sensitivity

Blurred vision

Diagnosing and Treating Dry Eye

One way to determine whether your symptoms are signs of dry eye is by scheduling a dry eye vision exam with Linda Vision. During your consultation, our eye doctors will perform one or several tests to determine the root of the problem, the severity of the condition and the appropriate treatment.

There are a number of treatment options available for dry eyes. For mild symptoms, making environmental and lifestyle changes may be enough to cure or manage symptoms. For instance, if you spend multiple hours focusing your eyes on a computer screen or other digital device, blinking more often and taking breaks can keep eyes moist and comfy. Using a humidifier in your home or work can also help by slowing down the evaporation of tears. In addition, research shows omega-3 supplements and foods rich in omega-3 can help prevent dry eye or manage symptoms.

For mild symptoms, a simple solution may be using artificial tears to lubricate your eyes. However, for some patients, lubrication is not enough to relieve dry eye symptoms. If this is the case, our eye doctors will evaluate the condition and prescribe the necessary medications and treatments to help your eyes. Other treatment options can include punctal plugs to prevent tear drainage or intense pulsed light therapy to unblock the meibomian glands that have become clogged and prevent proper tear flow.
